My name is actually a hispanic name. (popular in Mexico)
I went to Mexico for the FIRST TIME EVER last year for my cousins destination wedding
but... I need more. Sooooo… I’m actively seeking another destination wedding there.

In case you're wondering, my name is pronounced... -- [ Hi - Met ] --
Now, say it again... but this time, DO NOT pronounce the " T " at the end.
Did ya get that?
50% do and 50% Do not. I’m sure we'll cover it again later. ;-)

Meet my beautiful wife & children.

Admittedly, these pics are 3 years old now but the info is the same. My wife Gege is the ROCK of our little family. She is in school full time and somehow still manages to run errands, take care of her mom, and cook for us too. I’m sure I do not deserve this caliber of a woman but I will continue making her feel appreciated for as long as she chooses to stick around. I still look at her in awe when she enters a room. My son Samir is 17 now and much taller than shown in the pics above. My daughter Suraya is 10. Both are huggers and love to be silly like their parents. This is my crew and they are why I work so hard.

-I’m considered a self taught photographer, but C’mon now…. With YouTube and Google…. is anyone really self taught? The definition of Teacher & Training has evolved.

• More like, I have the initiative to find an answer, or scratch curiosity, the patience to sit through training, and the discipline to rinse and repeat until I get the result I want.

-I used to be a Professional Drummer. (As in I was paid to play, I didn’t say I was epic.)

-If you are interested in the power of intention and the Electromagnetic field that our heart and mind creates, then… we just became besties.

-I’m like an undercover New Aged Hippie that loves to Listen and Learn from others.

-At some point, I became a NERD that listens to Podcasts & Audiobooks about Business & Personal Development more so than I listen to MUSIC.

-ONE WORD - FOOTBALL——- ‘nough said.
